My poem of hope


[mo...]

Recommended Posts

I am suffering so terribly today. I write poetry from so many different mood states and am forcing myself to read a poem I wrote just yesterday when I felt hopeful. I do not feel hopeful today, at all -- so very depressed and weary of this battle, I'm just trying to reach out.

 

Divine Message

 

Be still. The earth is moving in its growth despite your sorrowful neglect.

Listen; a voice in the peaceful stillness.  Each kind tree and flying creature with such a tender message.

 

Let your eyes lift to the heavens; sun, moon and stars

a certain perfect

existing in their perfect spaces.

 

You are moving in your growth; despite your own

sorrowful neglect.

 

My church, with its sweet walls forever expanding, and the messengers

forever poised in their readiness...

 

I simply delight at your being in all its glory and all

its strife, and come to treasure your striving days both

ahead and left behind all at once.

 

Just yesterday your thoughts of hopelessness and despair.

Today I collect them in my sweet container of divinity.

 

With the ease of a master, I come

to instruct

to mentor, to hold dearly

your longing wishes for healing

and to continue to remain at your side as always.

 

I sense your strength and fortitude, and promise

to bless each confusion and doubt still

clinging to your suffering soul.

That was beautiful.

I'm a new member here, really struggling with depression too. Your poem spoke to me.

Flicka and Di Di,

 

I'm truly glad you liked  my poem.  I use poetry as a way of praying sometimes and I believe my prayers are answered in my own words which helps me get through the really bad days...
